Both versions are great... of course David Castle is fantastic... but I personally love the way Chyi Yu tells a story... I'm Costa Rican and the first time I heard this song was from a Malaysian friend... Wore the old tape out...
I have this album(Castle in the sky) from David Castle and kept it for about 30 years like new condition. Here are the listing of songs: 1. Loneliest Man On The Moon 2. You're Too Far Away 3. Make Believe (You're Near Me) 4. Lady On The Other Side Of Town 5. Ten To Eight 6. With Love & With Care 7. All I Ever Wanna Be Is Yours 8. Pretending 9. Finally I am hoping we can see a CD version of this album in the near future!!!
I'm not sure if I'm the only one here who loves this version of this song a lot more than the original version .. The whole arrangement has a beautiful afternoon-tea quality to it , the female singer took her time to tell the story in a slow-brew intimate style - the piano interim adds an exquisite touch to the poetic feel of this lovely song.. exquisite ..
Thanks musicboxforever for posting this hidden gem ..
Original singer is Chyi. Didnt find any david castle's the lady on the other side of town." or did you get the wrong person, original singer is Michael Jackson ?
p.s. mbf, It's so gracious of you to try to respond to each individual comment. We could all be similarly gracious if we cared about mutual respect. Thank you for the tone you've set with your projects
@musicboxforever Like rwr11, I, too, have been looking for that version. It comes off an album called "Cassels In The Sky" by David Cassel. I'd begun to think I was dreaming, when nobody seemed to know of it. I heard it only once on the radio, featured on the 'future hit' segment of a UK-derived Top 100 show. Never heard it again! That was somewhere in the late 70's early 80's. I just remember it as a GREAT-SOUNDING BALLAD. If you ever find it, pls let us know. BTW, gr8 vid. Thx for posting
@EarlO100: Thanks for the in the info. I have never heard David Cassels' version before. I definately would like to buy the album if it is still avaliable. Thanks :) - mbf
@musicboxforever Well rwr11 corrected me. It's David CASTLE and the album is 'CASTLE in the Sky' (chk for another single called 'The loneliest Man on the Moon' posted by MusicMike2 here on youtube and you'll find ancilliary information.)
@EarlO100 The original singer is David Castle, not Cassel. It was on his album "Castle in the Sky" by Parachute Records. There were a few good songs in that album too. I'm also hoping someone will post it. In the meantime, we can still make do with this wonderful version....
@rwr11 You're quite right, I stand corrected. As mentioned earlier, I had but 1 vague (but memorable) encounter with the song, so forgive me if my info was skeletal. (Somehow, though, I seem to remember the DJ making that specific distinction about the spelling of the names; 1 or both of us was wrong.) If you chk here on youtube 4 the single 'The Loneliest Man on the Moon' off the same album, a respondent claims 2 have the album and I suggested they post 'Lady on the Other Side of Town'. Cheers
Kinda "unique" lyrics about the romance of a 30 plus married woman and a 19 year-old kid ... Whatever, I like the artworks ... Thanks for sharing ... ^^
@LawrenceTanSg: Thanks. I do not think both the woman and man ever got married here in the song. But in the real life, I have seen this type of oddity before :) - mbf
@MARGAMK I apologize, my info was slightly off. It's actually David CASTLE and the album is 'CASTLE in the Sky' (chk for another single called 'The loneliest Man on the Moon' posted by MusicMike2 here on youtube and you'll find ancilliary information.) Ciao.
it's drive me crazy lol...

我也是約三十年前在軍中廣播電台徐凡的節目聽到David Castle的原唱,立即被其旋律與歌聲所感動,但是當時未能聽清楚原唱者的名字。從電台轉錄的雜音處處的錄音帶版本跟隨我二十幾年。後來聽到齊豫的翻唱CD版本,也是非常動聽,只是讓我更想知道原唱是谁,方便我去找他的CD,可惜齊豫的CD提供的歌詞對作者卻隻字未提。感謝網路,我終於在去年知道這首歌的原唱是David Castle;感謝youtube,終於再次聽到完整的原唱本。真懷念徐凡及其節目,她讓我愛上搖滾樂,也讓我認識了少數可以讓我一聽再聽的抒情歌曲(Ballad)。
